CORSET ATTACHMENT.

I SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 318,776, dated May 26, 1885.

(N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY McWATERs, a citizen of the United States,residing at Bethel, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Corset Attachments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to hose-supporters; and it consists in the improvements herein after described and claimed.

Figure 1 is a sectional view illustrating one of the main features of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a sectional view, further illustrating the practical application thereof. Fig. 3 is a sectional View of the mechanism as seen from the side opposite to that shownin Fig. 2. Fig. 4 represents a section with some of the parts detached, in order to show features otherwise obscured.

A represents a corset having holes 0 in each side, to the edges of which holes are sewed, by strips a a, coiled wires D, having eccentrically-curved unstitched extension D, for the purpose hereinafter explained.

Through the wire-lined holes 0 are inserted 'studs B B, the base portions to which are of larger diameter than the holes 0, thus serving to hold the studs in position. Wire loops E are passed around the projecting heads of the studs B B and made to bear on the necks of studs between the eccentric extensions D and the adjacent re-enforced edge of the hole a.

The eccentric extensions D of the wires D are left free for the adjustment of the loops E, which latter the said extensions D prevent from getting disconnected from engagement with the necks of the studs B B.

F F represent strap-garters which extend downward any desired length, connecting with the hose in the ordinary way and securing the latter with the ordinary connecting devices.

It will be obvious that the improvements above explained are exceedingly simple, durable and useful in character, that their application to existing patterns of corsets may be readily effected and their removal therefrom easily secured.

I claim- 1. The combination, with a corset or other under garment, of perforations formed in the lower portions of the same in each side thereof, wire coils secured to said corset or garment to encircle said perforations and re enforce the same, and studs B B, located in said perforations, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, in a corset or other under-garment, of perforations formed at each side thereof, curled wires secured to said corset or garment so as to embrace and re-enforce said openings, and having an eccentric extension, D, a stud bearing in said perforation, and a loop, E, hung on said stud under said eccentric extension, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
